I see no one railing against the Masons, the Elks, or the Eagles for their little secret laws. I don't care what they do...why do the UPC exes care?[/QUOTE]
What an absolutely MORONIC question! We care because the UPC is our spiritual heritage. Some of us have much love and respect for our good ole mothership and find its machinations fascinating. Some of us still have a foot in the door since many family members are affiliated. Some of us still contribute to UPC churches in our way and hope and pray that all this mess will get sorted out for the benefit of loved ones who are involved. To suggest that if you leave the ship you have nothing to contribute is ridiculous! (I had another word lined up but thought better of it.)

Go ahead and use your better word.
This is absolutely legitimate question. It amounts to stirring up strife and bringing back issues that obviously haven't been resolved. If closure is needed, it is not going to be found attacking pastors and questioning motives. If the exes are just trying to get a slap on the back for a good "point," just say so, don't post under the guise of being concerned about the mothership and heritage.
